Should Government Be Divided?
Opinions Vary As Bethel
Views Government Split
Festival Set Next Week
by Marilyn Hultgren
Definite opinions regarding the
desirability of a division of col-lege
and seminary governments
have been expressed by many stu-dents
and faculty members. Be-fore
an intelligent vote can be
cast next Friday, all sides of the
question need to be examined. Be-low
are several viewpoints.
President Lundquist stated, "My
hope is that, however it is revised,
we can keep both the bodies work-ing
together. I would wish that we
see the alternatives of the pre-sent
organization before we make
the final break."
Edwin Omark, clean of seminary,
favors the separation. "I think it
would be an incentive to the sem-inary
students to promote student
government in the seminary more
actively, as they are inclined to
leave responsibilities to the col-lege."
Dick Ottoson, president of the
seminary council, stated, "I am
definitely in favor of the break. It
is actually freedom to plan our
own schedules — particularly for
social activities. Then we as the
seminary contribute a certain
amount to the government from
which we do not benefit. However,
I hope it's not a complete break,
for we feel dependent on the col-lege
and wish to co-operate."
John F. Anderson, chairman of
the committee for study of the
Seminary-College Student Associa-tion,
was of a similar opinion, but
lie added, "or etnirse there may
be problems in the total over-all
seminary-college relationship that
I am unaware of, but I feel that
a joint committee working on such
activities as W.M.F., Homecoming,
special weeks, and so forth, can
more efficiently and more realis-tically
handle what the present
inclusive College - Seminary Stu-dent
Association is now doing. I
think of this more as re-organiza-tion
of our total college-seminary
relationship rather than as dras-tically
changing that which now
exists."
"Taking five" from their re-hearsal
for the Royal Players' pro-duction
of Lloyd Douglas' The
Robe scheduled for next week-end
art Pat Colon, Cindy Crohn, and
Roger Purcell.
Bob Ricker, college senior, be-lieves
that much of the negative
feeling toward the separation has
come from a lack of knowledge
concerning what the new proposal
involves.
"The way the governments of
the college and seminary are op-erating
now isn't as different
from the new proposal as many
would believe it to be," stated Bob.
But many students are definitely
against the proposal. Bill MacKin-ney,
a student in the seminary,
believes that the proposed revision
is no solution to the problem that
exists.
"The problem seems to be a
threefold one that could be solved
well within the existing govern-mental
framework. The problems
are: poor communications, poor
participation and poor representa-tion.
"I would appeal for: better com-munication
between college and
seminary and between Student
Senate and entire student body, a
better representation for semin-arians
by electing qualified, inter-ested
leaders; a greater participa-tion
by all students. This can be
accomplished under the present or-ganization.
Revision will be the
slow death of good government."
Fine Arts
The annual Fine Arts Fegti,a l,
sponsored by the cultural council,
will be presented next week, March
2 through 7. Attention will be
focused on various aspects of the
fine arts. Each program will take
place on campus for the conven-ience
and cultural benefit of the
student body.
Architect Ralph Rapson will lec-ture
Monday night. Mr. Rapson
is professor in and head of the
school of architecture at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota.
The first honor award of the
Minnesota Society of Architects
was given to Mr. Rapson last year
for the Shepherd residence. In 1958
'he also received an honor award
from the Minnesota Society of
Architects for St. Peter's Lutheran
church in Edina.

The plot of The Robe is based
upon the death of Jesus Christ
and its effects on the lives of
people living at that time.

To Vote On
Separation
Next Friday the vote for dividing
the Bethel Student Association into
two separate governmental units
will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2
p.m. College students will be able
to vote in the student lounge, and
seminary students will vote in
the seminary lounge.
A two-thirds majority of the
ballots cast is required to pass
this proposal which will amend
the constitution of the Bethel Stu-dent
Association. This amendment
would enable each student body to
reorganize its government. A joint
committee would be created to
handle areas of common interest.
Last spring David Clark and
Dwight Jessup studied the advis-ability
and problems of a separa-tion
and recommended that a sep-aration
be made. Another study
was conducted this year by a com-mittee
headed by John F. Ander-son.
Members were: Fred Borgen
and Robert Ricker of the college,
Glenn Ogren of the seminary, Ed-win
Omark, dean of the seminary,
and Clifford V. Anderson, dean of
students. Similar conclusions were
drawn from this study.
Jan. 12 the committee recom-mended
to the Student Senate that
their proposal be voted on by the
Student Association. The Senate
approved this recommendation.
In order to inform every student
of the issues involved before the
election, Monday night an open
forum was held, Tuesday the sem-inary
chapel period was used to
discuss the proposal, and mimeo-graphed
copies of information con-cerning
the vote have been distri-buted
through the post office.

GET A FI-A5HLITE AN 5E6 WHAT/5 GOING ON
SACK IN THE ‘5TACK5/.
As you drive south from the city across the
Robert street bridge and then turn along Concord
avenue, South St. Paul emerges from beneath its
smoky shroud which hovers over and drifts unnotic-ed
through the buildings of the town. Evidence of
the wide influence of this suburban area is readily
available even here at Bethel on the nights of the
south wind. South St. Paul is the home of the sec-ond
largest stockyards in the United States—the
housing place for the cattle, sheep, and hogs of
various producers in these parts. The yards also
serve as a market where buying and selling are
conducted.
As you drive into the stockyards via the Grand
street entrance, various signs meet the eye which
caution the unwary driver: "Prevent bruises,"
"Put dead stock at bottom of chute;" however
these may probably be regarded as notices to em-ployees.
Two of the "big four" meat-packing companies,
Armour and Swift (the "big four" being Armour,
Cudahy, Wilson, and Swift) have plants adjacent
to the yards. In the Swift plant free tours are open
to the public Monday through Friday at 10 a.m.
and 1 p.m., so if you skip class and find yourself
with nothing to do, try ,Swift's.
On the tour the actual animal slaughter is not
shown. This is to protect the public from the mor-bid
scene but mainly to protect the company from
the loss of sales since such a sight builds sales
resistance to related products. (Who's going to
eat veal after they've seen a tottering, spindly-legged,
innocent young calf slaughtered—yea, before
their very eyes?) However, if you peer through the
hog slaughter-house window you can catch a glimpse
of newly killed hogs performing the dance macabre,
while traveling down the overhead pulleys to the
scalding vats. (By the time it reaches the vat the
hog has, of course, gone to the happy corn fields.)
In the vats the hair is scalded off. The hog then
meets a battery of specialized union employees
each of whom cuts one cut. The entrails are put
on a tray accompanying the body and are tested
by government inspectors for any disorders. Ques-tionable
hogs are side-tracked.
During this whole process, the bald and partly
dismembered head of the hog remains attached in
droll fashion. It is reminiscent of table decora-tions
of yore—minus apple.
When the hog has run the full gamut of fac-tory
workmanship, it goes to market as Swift's
Smoked Ham, or Swift's Pork Roll, or Swift's Pork
sausage.
Next time you go to the supermarket and
see Swift's products, remember — you heard
about them first in "The Square Corner."

Minister's Task Defined
And Emphasized By Niles
Next Friday the question of gov-ernmental
separation between col-lege
and seminary will be brought
before the Bethel .Student Associa-tion
in a referendum vote.
There has been some misunder-standing
concerning the vote.
Some seminarians fear that such
an action would bring about com-plete
separation and that this
would include the student publica-tions.
Since the split relates only
to student government, other
phases of campus life, such as
publications, would not be involv-ed.
Some within the Bethel corn-munity
have expressed the fear
that caution and discretion have
been thrown to the winds in a
whirlwind movement to oust the
seminary students from campus
life. Such is not the case. The
problem has been studied by the
Student Senate for approximately
a year. Those familiar with the
campus situation realize that the
proposed action would only be an
official announcement of what is
already in effect. Seminary stu-dents,
for the greatest part, are
unable to participate in campus
government and its projects to a
large enough extent to warrant
their payment of fees used to fin-ance
the student government.
The necessity of student govern-ment
in the seminary situation is
actually somewhat questionable.
The greatest portion of these stu-dents
are married, which usually
requires extra earning effort, de-spite
rumors that "behind every
seminarian is a woman . .. work-ing."

his chosen field, to say nothing of
Berlin Crisis
Stems From
OddSituation
by Dr. Walfred Peterson
Here the writer recasts the con-vocation
address by Dr. Harold
Deutsch on "The Berlin Crisis and
the Problem of Germany"—ed.
The crisis developing over Ber-lin
is of complicated origin. The
victorious allies in 1945 jointly
accepted agreements which now
seem ,almost unexplainable. The
U.S.S.R. permitted military occu-pation
of a part of Berlin by Bri-tish,
French, and American forces.
This insured that the Communists
would be confronted later with a
free democratic city in their unfree
satellite zone. Britain, France, and
America assumed their place in the
city without safeguards — other
than paper — for their lines of
communication. All parties have
regreted the 1945 actions.
Now the U,S.S.R. is moving to
end this impasse, but her move-ment
is indirect. On May 27 she
will give control of the lines of
communication to her faithful ser-vant,
East Germany. The problem
for the Western Democracies rep-resented
in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization is this: They
do not regard the present East
German government as a legiti-mate
regime. How can they deal
with an unrecognized state ? Must
they blockade themselves in Ber-lin
on the principle that East
Germany cannot be recognized?
Some say that East Germany
must be recognized. But such ac-tion
would tend to confirm, as a
permanent arrangement, the di-vision
of Germany. The U.S.S.R.
and its satellites want such con-

the heavy academic load, occupy
much of the seminarian's time.
Seminary is then only a building
housing classes. There are, of
course, exceptions.
Before voting, one should con-skier
the situation as one sees and
hears it.
By no means does a vote favor-ing
separation insult the seminary
student. As pointed out, the non-participation
of seminarians is not
a matter of choice. If it were a
matter of choice, it is likely that
the existing apathetic situation
would not exist.
Age, marital status, and aca-demic
station give students in the
college and seminary different,
and sometimes divergent, interests.
If the separation is put into ef-fect
and if the seminary forms its
own government, each governing
body will be able to provide stu-dent
benefits, activities, and a
voice for the student more in line
with the interests of its own con-stituency
without fear of neglect-ing
the other group.

Founder's Week 1959: The har-binger
of a revitalized Bethel.
From the opening address to the
final class, an encouraging pat-tern
emerged. The Christian in an
anxious world must open his mind
as well as his heart to God and to
the individual need.
Rev. Eklof urged the campus
community to maintain the high
standards of leadership set for it
and the conference by its founder,
John Alexis Edgren. Dr. Yates
urged a surge of more love in our
hearts and more knowledge in
our heads. Let us open our hearts
and our minds.
"Christian faith is releasing
freedom," said Dr. Bass. Too long
have we shackled our minds in a
bomb cellar of a forgotten epoch,
fighting marginal issues rather
than exploring the frontiers of
our faith with Christ its pioneer.
The Christian faith is releasing
freedom — intellectual to explore
the macrocosm of God's creative
genius and moral to plumb the
microcosm within the heart of man
and free it from sin. The doors
of mind and heart must be opened
to God and His world.
In meditation and silence open
minds will find the peace of God.
Exposed to the world our minds
must reach every arena of human
activity with God's redemptive
purpose in Christ. Not the ability
of our minds, but their availability
is the essence, Dr. Munger remind-ed.
The heart must be opened to
God and the world. A heart bare

"This fact ... Jesus in the world
...now ... is •the basis of the
preacher's task, and his message
is to proclaim this contemporan-eousness
of Jesus, to have it
known, to have it understood, to
have it accepted."
So runs one of the core thoughts
of The Preacher's Task and the
Stone of Stumbling by Daniel T.
Niles, one of the finest expositions
of the heart of the Christian gos-pel
available. By "preacher," Dr.
Niles means any and every Chris-tian,
for it is the basic task of
Christians to proclaim the good
news. His precise definition of
what exactly comprises the good
news and what does not is the
chief delight in reading this book.
The fact that the heart of the
gospel is a stone of stumbling con-stitutes
a temptation to the prea-cher
to add or subtract from it it
order to make Jesus Christ ac-ceptable.
He illustrates this point
heart sensitive to the world in
compassion will transform the
mind for service. The field is the
world of both mind and heart.
This entails solitude and the re-covery
of personality and indivi-dual
existence in our day of or-ganization
- man. Kierkegaard's
Dictum stands fast: "In eternity
you will look in vain for the
crowd."
It is God's love that sets our
hearts on fire, and our minds a-blaze.
The sacrifice is incalcuable,
and ephemeral reward may •be non-existent,
but consider Him, who
for the joy that was set before
Him, 'endured the gibbet and de-spised
the shame.

by the use of three letters written
by three men of different faiths:
a Hindu, a Moslem, and a Budd-hist.
Each states his reason for
not being able to accept Chris-tianity.
In Dr. Niles' analysis of
these objections, he defines the
true gospel in crystal clear terms,
while at the same time pointing
out that these objections create a
temptation to compromise.
Throughout the book, Dr. Niles
shows great insight into Christian
truths. His description of the Bib-lical
meaning of sin is beyond com-pare.
His definition of what is
meant by the Christian carrying
his cross contradicts the usual ego-centric
attitudes so often express-ed.
He defines the relationship of
Christian works and grace very
clearly and concisely. His under-standing
of the temptation of
American preachers shows rare in-sight
and humor.
Dr. Niles is a second generation
Christian from Ceylon—a Metho-dist
minister educated in the
West. He is the executive secre-tary
of the Department of Evan-gelism
of the World Council of
Churches, and chairman of the
World Student Christian Federa-tion.
The text of this book is a
printing of the Lyman Beecher
Lectures for 1957 given at Yale
Divinity school.
Truly, in this book, Dr. Niles
practices what he says—"Nothing
must be allowed to hide Him" for
the presentness and pre-eminence
of Jesus Christ is constantly im-pressed
upon the reader.

Russia 's Igor Besrodni,
Masterpiece,' March 3
Week Of Politics Slates
Rally, Senate Election
Young Russian violinist, Igor
Besrodni, will appear at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota on Tuesday,
March 3, in Northrop auditorium
at 8:80 p.m.
This appearance, a part of his
first tour of the United States, is
sponsored by the University Art-ists
Course "Masterpiece" series.
Belonging to the younger gen-eration
of Soviet violinists, Bes-rodni
was born in 1930 at Tbilisi,
Georgia, to a family of musicians.
He started studying the violin with
his father at the age of six and in
1937 was accepted by the Moscow
state conservatory school of mu-sic.
By the time he was 20 years
old, Besrodni had gathered first
prizes in three international vio-linists'
contests.

The National Defense Student
Loan program was authorized by
the enactment of Public Law 85-

features of this act, designed
"to identify and educate more of
the talent of our nation" and "to
insure trained manpower of suffi-cient
quality and quantity to meet
the national defense needs of the
United States."
Recipients of loans are selected
by the -college. The law requires
that each borrower be a full time
student and that he be in need of
the amount of his loan to pursue
his course of study and that he

Bach Organ
Recital Set
Baroque organ demonstration
will be given at the Bethel Ev-angelical
Lutheran church in Min-neapolis
this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Raymond Boese will play this
unique organ, the only one of its
kind in the Twin City area. Mr.
Boese teaches organ at St. Olaf
college in Northfield, Minn.
This organ is "controversial," ac-cording
to J. Robert Carlson, sem-inary
middleman.
Baroque organs, which were the
type used during Bach's time, are
noted for clarity, lightness, and
brilliant tone. After the Baroque
period, organs were made to imi-tate
different 'instruments of the
orchestra. Because of this, the
organ ceased to be entirely an in-strument
in its own right, Mr.
Carlson said.
The demonstration is sponsored
by the Twin City student group
of the American Guild of Organ-ists.
This group is planning a six-state
convention May 8 and 9 at
Hamline university. Workshops,
recitals, and appearances of na-tionally
known artists will be in-cluded.
Bethel students interested in

study.
Special consideration in select-ing
loan recipients is given to stu-dents
with a superior academic
background who express a desire
to teach in elementary or second-ary
schools and whose academic
background indicates a superior
capacity or preparation in science,
mathematics, engineering, or a
modern foreign language.
If funds are available, a student
may borrow in one year a sum not
exceeding $1000 and during his
entire course in higher education
no more than $5000. The borrower
must sign a note for his loan, evi-dencing
his obligation and agree-ing
to interest and repayment
terms established by the college.
Other condition's are stipulated

The borrower's obligation to repay
his loan is to be cancelled in the

Berlin Crisis
(continued from p. 2)
firmation, for a united Germany
is a threat to them. Western Ger-many
and some of the Western
Democracies do not want division
confirmed in any way. To the Bonn
(West German) government, it is
perhaps an issue worth risking
war over.
Beyond the issue of recognition,
looms the problem of Berlin itself.
The U.S.S.R. has suggested it be-come
a free city. But most observ-ers
think this in time would iso-late
it economically and politically
from the Democratic West. Can
this isolation be accepted? The
price is high. Berlin is a symbol
of freedom in tyranized Eastern
Europe. It is an escape hatch for
the hunted and harried behind the
iron curtain. It is a measuring
stick which daily shows the sharp
contrast between the meager life
under communism and richer life
under democracy. It is a city of
free people—some two million of
them—who have dared to vote
against Communism under the
shadow of Soviet guns. Would the
sacrifice of all this nat weaken
the fiber of resistance to Com-munism
in all of Europe?
Hard decisions must be made by
the NATO states in the next three
months. These decisions would tax
our statesmanship in any time, but
'presently the rulers in Moscow
may feel that they can risk war
in the confidtence that the Soviet
I'CBM's will force the West to
grant last minute concessions to
avert atomic war. Thus, Western
calculations must attempt to weigh
the thoughts of man in the distant
and isolated Kremlin. Can West-ern
leadership and its supporting
public opinion develop the creative
flexibility this crisis demands?

Bethel Swamps Pillsbury;
Northland Beaten By 12
Warriors Take
Royals, 78-89
Bethel finished its cage season
by losing 78-89 to Winona State,
Feb. 24, on the Royals home court.
The Royals played good ball and
threatened the Warriors twice.
With three minutes to the end of
the first half Les Borms and
John Peterson each connected with
free throws leaving the Royals
one point down at half time. Mid-way
in the third quarter the Roy-als
pulled ahead by four points
but the Warriors came back strong.
At the free throw line the Roy-als
had a field day. Out of 52 free
throws attempted they put in 44
for 85 per cent. Winona put in
25 of 37.
John Peterson, making his first
start for the Royals at forward,
scared 14 points. Les Borms and
Keith King had 17 and 12 points
respectively. Truman Turnquist
and Dick Larson hit for 11 and 10
points.
Outstanding for Winona were:
guard Don Klagg, who scored 19
points with a deadly jump shot;
center Gale Sprute with 18 points;
and the floor play of Herb Es-pinda.
Milton beat the Lakeland Mus-kies
in a heated overtime period
last Friday night by a score of
75 to 71. Milton still has one more
game against a good ball club,
Milwaukee I. T.; a loss to them
would give Bethel a playoff game
with Milton for the conference
championship. Milwaukee's new
player, Richard La,abs, scored 44
points against Lakeland.
by Dave Hagfeldt
The Royals trounced Pillsbury
again, 103 to 42, on Feb. 16, at
Owatonna. Forward John Peterson,
getting 17 points, looked very good.
Bethel had six men scoring in
double figures. Speedy guard
Duane Frey, with the help of eight
charity tosses, led last place Pills-bury
with 16 points.
Bethel's Royals defeated a much
talked about Northland five, on
Feb. 12, for the second time this
season, 65 to 53. On their home
floor the Royals led at half-time,
32-25, and dominated the scoring
throughout the game.
Wayne Kindall led Royal scor-ing
with 16 points; Truman Turn-quist

SHOW OFF YOUR EYES
by Harry Cohen
The traditional Founder's Week
foes of the Bethel Royals were con-quered
for the second time this
year. Northwestern was beaten
77 to 70 in the Bethel fieldhouse
on Thursday, February 19. Early
in January these same two teams
met and Bethel triumphed, 68 to
58.
The Royals were threatened ser-iously
only once, when the Eagles
pulled within one point of the
lead, 66 to 65. At half-time • Bethel
held an 11 point lead, 42 to 31.
Surprising to Northwestern fans,
but expected by most Bethelians,
was the lack of points by Eagle,
John Van Dixhorn. Truman Turn-quist
covered Van Dixhorn and
held him to eight points.
Truman still found time to score
22 points.
Northwestern's high scorer was
guard Dwayne Cole who threw
sundry shots through the basket
for an 18 point total. Bragg scored
16 points.
Russ Adelsman and Keith King
totaled 14 and 11 points respec-tively.
John Peterson played little
in the first half and scored but
two points then. In the second
half, however, he scored eight
points and played some fine clutch
basketball that deserves recogni-tion.
The Royals, for the most part,
played well but not their best.
Turnquist's playing, termed by
some of his teammates as the best
this year, was certainly a major
factor contributing to the Bethel
victory.
Coach Healy was quite pleased
with Truman's work. He thought
it to be possibly the best Royal
contribution of the current season.

Should Government Be Divided?
Opinions Vary As Bethel
Views Government Split
Festival Set Next Week
by Marilyn Hultgren
Definite opinions regarding the
desirability of a division of col-lege
and seminary governments
have been expressed by many stu-dents
and faculty members. Be-fore
an intelligent vote can be
cast next Friday, all sides of the
question need to be examined. Be-low
are several viewpoints.
President Lundquist stated, "My
hope is that, however it is revised,
we can keep both the bodies work-ing
together. I would wish that we
see the alternatives of the pre-sent
organization before we make
the final break."
Edwin Omark, clean of seminary,
favors the separation. "I think it
would be an incentive to the sem-inary
students to promote student
government in the seminary more
actively, as they are inclined to
leave responsibilities to the col-lege."
Dick Ottoson, president of the
seminary council, stated, "I am
definitely in favor of the break. It
is actually freedom to plan our
own schedules — particularly for
social activities. Then we as the
seminary contribute a certain
amount to the government from
which we do not benefit. However,
I hope it's not a complete break,
for we feel dependent on the col-lege
and wish to co-operate."
John F. Anderson, chairman of
the committee for study of the
Seminary-College Student Associa-tion,
was of a similar opinion, but
lie added, "or etnirse there may
be problems in the total over-all
seminary-college relationship that
I am unaware of, but I feel that
a joint committee working on such
activities as W.M.F., Homecoming,
special weeks, and so forth, can
more efficiently and more realis-tically
handle what the present
inclusive College - Seminary Stu-dent
Association is now doing. I
think of this more as re-organiza-tion
of our total college-seminary
relationship rather than as dras-tically
changing that which now
exists."
"Taking five" from their re-hearsal
for the Royal Players' pro-duction
of Lloyd Douglas' The
Robe scheduled for next week-end
art Pat Colon, Cindy Crohn, and
Roger Purcell.
Bob Ricker, college senior, be-lieves
that much of the negative
feeling toward the separation has
come from a lack of knowledge
concerning what the new proposal
involves.
"The way the governments of
the college and seminary are op-erating
now isn't as different
from the new proposal as many
would believe it to be," stated Bob.
But many students are definitely
against the proposal. Bill MacKin-ney,
a student in the seminary,
believes that the proposed revision
is no solution to the problem that
exists.
"The problem seems to be a
threefold one that could be solved
well within the existing govern-mental
framework. The problems
are: poor communications, poor
participation and poor representa-tion.
"I would appeal for: better com-munication
between college and
seminary and between Student
Senate and entire student body, a
better representation for semin-arians
by electing qualified, inter-ested
leaders; a greater participa-tion
by all students. This can be
accomplished under the present or-ganization.
Revision will be the
slow death of good government."
Fine Arts
The annual Fine Arts Fegti,a l,
sponsored by the cultural council,
will be presented next week, March
2 through 7. Attention will be
focused on various aspects of the
fine arts. Each program will take
place on campus for the conven-ience
and cultural benefit of the
student body.
Architect Ralph Rapson will lec-ture
Monday night. Mr. Rapson
is professor in and head of the
school of architecture at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota.
The first honor award of the
Minnesota Society of Architects
was given to Mr. Rapson last year
for the Shepherd residence. In 1958
'he also received an honor award

To Vote On
Separation
Next Friday the vote for dividing
the Bethel Student Association into
two separate governmental units
will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2
p.m. College students will be able
to vote in the student lounge, and
seminary students will vote in
the seminary lounge.
A two-thirds majority of the
ballots cast is required to pass
this proposal which will amend
the constitution of the Bethel Stu-dent
Association. This amendment
would enable each student body to
reorganize its government. A joint
committee would be created to
handle areas of common interest.
Last spring David Clark and
Dwight Jessup studied the advis-ability
and problems of a separa-tion
and recommended that a sep-aration
be made. Another study
was conducted this year by a com-mittee
headed by John F. Ander-son.
Members were: Fred Borgen
and Robert Ricker of the college,
Glenn Ogren of the seminary, Ed-win
Omark, dean of the seminary,
and Clifford V. Anderson, dean of
students. Similar conclusions were
drawn from this study.
Jan. 12 the committee recom-mended
to the Student Senate that
their proposal be voted on by the
Student Association. The Senate
approved this recommendation.
In order to inform every student
of the issues involved before the
election, Monday night an open
forum was held, Tuesday the sem-inary
chapel period was used to
discuss the proposal, and mimeo-graphed
copies of information con-cerning
the vote have been distri-buted
through the post office.

GET A FI-A5HLITE AN 5E6 WHAT/5 GOING ON
SACK IN THE ‘5TACK5/.
As you drive south from the city across the
Robert street bridge and then turn along Concord
avenue, South St. Paul emerges from beneath its
smoky shroud which hovers over and drifts unnotic-ed
through the buildings of the town. Evidence of
the wide influence of this suburban area is readily
available even here at Bethel on the nights of the
south wind. South St. Paul is the home of the sec-ond
largest stockyards in the United States—the
housing place for the cattle, sheep, and hogs of
various producers in these parts. The yards also
serve as a market where buying and selling are
conducted.
As you drive into the stockyards via the Grand
street entrance, various signs meet the eye which
caution the unwary driver: "Prevent bruises,"
"Put dead stock at bottom of chute;" however
these may probably be regarded as notices to em-ployees.
Two of the "big four" meat-packing companies,
Armour and Swift (the "big four" being Armour,
Cudahy, Wilson, and Swift) have plants adjacent
to the yards. In the Swift plant free tours are open
to the public Monday through Friday at 10 a.m.
and 1 p.m., so if you skip class and find yourself
with nothing to do, try ,Swift's.
On the tour the actual animal slaughter is not
shown. This is to protect the public from the mor-bid
scene but mainly to protect the company from
the loss of sales since such a sight builds sales
resistance to related products. (Who's going to
eat veal after they've seen a tottering, spindly-legged,
innocent young calf slaughtered—yea, before
their very eyes?) However, if you peer through the
hog slaughter-house window you can catch a glimpse
of newly killed hogs performing the dance macabre,
while traveling down the overhead pulleys to the
scalding vats. (By the time it reaches the vat the
hog has, of course, gone to the happy corn fields.)
In the vats the hair is scalded off. The hog then
meets a battery of specialized union employees
each of whom cuts one cut. The entrails are put
on a tray accompanying the body and are tested
by government inspectors for any disorders. Ques-tionable
hogs are side-tracked.
During this whole process, the bald and partly
dismembered head of the hog remains attached in
droll fashion. It is reminiscent of table decora-tions
of yore—minus apple.
When the hog has run the full gamut of fac-tory
workmanship, it goes to market as Swift's
Smoked Ham, or Swift's Pork Roll, or Swift's Pork
sausage.
Next time you go to the supermarket and
see Swift's products, remember — you heard
about them first in "The Square Corner."

Minister's Task Defined
And Emphasized By Niles
Next Friday the question of gov-ernmental
separation between col-lege
and seminary will be brought
before the Bethel .Student Associa-tion
in a referendum vote.
There has been some misunder-standing
concerning the vote.
Some seminarians fear that such
an action would bring about com-plete
separation and that this
would include the student publica-tions.
Since the split relates only
to student government, other
phases of campus life, such as
publications, would not be involv-ed.
Some within the Bethel corn-munity
have expressed the fear
that caution and discretion have
been thrown to the winds in a
whirlwind movement to oust the
seminary students from campus
life. Such is not the case. The
problem has been studied by the
Student Senate for approximately
a year. Those familiar with the
campus situation realize that the
proposed action would only be an
official announcement of what is
already in effect. Seminary stu-dents,
for the greatest part, are
unable to participate in campus
government and its projects to a
large enough extent to warrant
their payment of fees used to fin-ance
the student government.
The necessity of student govern-ment
in the seminary situation is
actually somewhat questionable.
The greatest portion of these stu-dents
are married, which usually
requires extra earning effort, de-spite
rumors that "behind every
seminarian is a woman . .. work-ing."

Berlin Crisis
Stems From
OddSituation
by Dr. Walfred Peterson
Here the writer recasts the con-vocation
address by Dr. Harold
Deutsch on "The Berlin Crisis and
the Problem of Germany"—ed.
The crisis developing over Ber-lin
is of complicated origin. The
victorious allies in 1945 jointly
accepted agreements which now
seem ,almost unexplainable. The
U.S.S.R. permitted military occu-pation
of a part of Berlin by Bri-tish,
French, and American forces.
This insured that the Communists
would be confronted later with a
free democratic city in their unfree
satellite zone. Britain, France, and
America assumed their place in the
city without safeguards — other
than paper — for their lines of
communication. All parties have
regreted the 1945 actions.
Now the U,S.S.R. is moving to
end this impasse, but her move-ment
is indirect. On May 27 she
will give control of the lines of
communication to her faithful ser-vant,
East Germany. The problem
for the Western Democracies rep-resented
in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization is this: They
do not regard the present East
German government as a legiti-mate
regime. How can they deal
with an unrecognized state ? Must
they blockade themselves in Ber-lin
on the principle that East
Germany cannot be recognized?
Some say that East Germany
must be recognized. But such ac-tion
would tend to confirm, as a
permanent arrangement, the di-vision
of Germany. The U.S.S.R.
and its satellites want such con-
Berlin Crisis

the heavy academic load, occupy
much of the seminarian's time.
Seminary is then only a building
housing classes. There are, of
course, exceptions.
Before voting, one should con-skier
the situation as one sees and
hears it.
By no means does a vote favor-ing
separation insult the seminary
student. As pointed out, the non-participation
of seminarians is not
a matter of choice. If it were a
matter of choice, it is likely that
the existing apathetic situation
would not exist.
Age, marital status, and aca-demic
station give students in the
college and seminary different,
and sometimes divergent, interests.
If the separation is put into ef-fect
and if the seminary forms its
own government, each governing
body will be able to provide stu-dent
benefits, activities, and a
voice for the student more in line
with the interests of its own con-stituency
without fear of neglect-ing
the other group.

Founder's Week 1959: The har-binger
of a revitalized Bethel.
From the opening address to the
final class, an encouraging pat-tern
emerged. The Christian in an
anxious world must open his mind
as well as his heart to God and to
the individual need.
Rev. Eklof urged the campus
community to maintain the high
standards of leadership set for it
and the conference by its founder,
John Alexis Edgren. Dr. Yates
urged a surge of more love in our
hearts and more knowledge in
our heads. Let us open our hearts
and our minds.
"Christian faith is releasing
freedom," said Dr. Bass. Too long
have we shackled our minds in a
bomb cellar of a forgotten epoch,
fighting marginal issues rather
than exploring the frontiers of
our faith with Christ its pioneer.
The Christian faith is releasing
freedom — intellectual to explore
the macrocosm of God's creative
genius and moral to plumb the
microcosm within the heart of man
and free it from sin. The doors
of mind and heart must be opened
to God and His world.
In meditation and silence open
minds will find the peace of God.
Exposed to the world our minds
must reach every arena of human
activity with God's redemptive
purpose in Christ. Not the ability
of our minds, but their availability
is the essence, Dr. Munger remind-ed.
The heart must be opened to
God and the world. A heart bare

"This fact ... Jesus in the world
...now ... is •the basis of the
preacher's task, and his message
is to proclaim this contemporan-eousness
of Jesus, to have it
known, to have it understood, to
have it accepted."
So runs one of the core thoughts
of The Preacher's Task and the
Stone of Stumbling by Daniel T.
Niles, one of the finest expositions
of the heart of the Christian gos-pel
available. By "preacher," Dr.
Niles means any and every Chris-tian,
for it is the basic task of
Christians to proclaim the good
news. His precise definition of
what exactly comprises the good
news and what does not is the
chief delight in reading this book.
The fact that the heart of the
gospel is a stone of stumbling con-stitutes
a temptation to the prea-cher
to add or subtract from it it
order to make Jesus Christ ac-ceptable.
He illustrates this point
heart sensitive to the world in
compassion will transform the
mind for service. The field is the
world of both mind and heart.
This entails solitude and the re-covery
of personality and indivi-dual
existence in our day of or-ganization
- man. Kierkegaard's
Dictum stands fast: "In eternity
you will look in vain for the
crowd."
It is God's love that sets our
hearts on fire, and our minds a-blaze.
The sacrifice is incalcuable,
and ephemeral reward may •be non-existent,
but consider Him, who
for the joy that was set before
Him, 'endured the gibbet and de-spised
the shame.

by the use of three letters written
by three men of different faiths:
a Hindu, a Moslem, and a Budd-hist.
Each states his reason for
not being able to accept Chris-tianity.
In Dr. Niles' analysis of
these objections, he defines the
true gospel in crystal clear terms,
while at the same time pointing
out that these objections create a
temptation to compromise.
Throughout the book, Dr. Niles
shows great insight into Christian
truths. His description of the Bib-lical
meaning of sin is beyond com-pare.
His definition of what is
meant by the Christian carrying
his cross contradicts the usual ego-centric
attitudes so often express-ed.
He defines the relationship of
Christian works and grace very
clearly and concisely. His under-standing
of the temptation of
American preachers shows rare in-sight
and humor.
Dr. Niles is a second generation
Christian from Ceylon—a Metho-dist
minister educated in the
West. He is the executive secre-tary
of the Department of Evan-gelism
of the World Council of
Churches, and chairman of the
World Student Christian Federa-tion.
The text of this book is a
printing of the Lyman Beecher
Lectures for 1957 given at Yale
Divinity school.
Truly, in this book, Dr. Niles
practices what he says—"Nothing
must be allowed to hide Him" for
the presentness and pre-eminence
of Jesus Christ is constantly im-pressed
upon the reader.

Russia 's Igor Besrodni,
Masterpiece,' March 3
Week Of Politics Slates
Rally, Senate Election
Young Russian violinist, Igor
Besrodni, will appear at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota on Tuesday,
March 3, in Northrop auditorium
at 8:80 p.m.
This appearance, a part of his
first tour of the United States, is
sponsored by the University Art-ists
Course "Masterpiece" series.
Belonging to the younger gen-eration
of Soviet violinists, Bes-rodni
was born in 1930 at Tbilisi,
Georgia, to a family of musicians.
He started studying the violin with
his father at the age of six and in
1937 was accepted by the Moscow
state conservatory school of mu-sic.
By the time he was 20 years
old, Besrodni had gathered first
prizes in three international vio-linists'
contests.
During the past few years he

The chorale, organized in 1948,
is a group of professionally trained

States extensively, having
been in all but two of the 49
states.
The group sings music ranging
from early Italian and German
masters to the music of contem-porary
composers.
Robert Shaw, at the age of 42,
has won fame as chorale director
and has also conducted many lead-ing
orchestras. At present he is
associate director of the Cleveland
orchestra.

Life Of Lassie
Portrayed At
BWA Today
by Carolyn Nepstad
Scottish school days will come
to life for Bethel women today
at the monthly BWA meeting. Mrs.
Robert Mounce, a recent visitor
to the land of kilts and bagpipes,
will tell of her observations on
"The Life of a Lassie."
Other faculty wives, under the
leadership of Mrs. Clifford Lar-son,
are to also have a part in this
special program.
BWA president Janet Lindquist
urges all members to join the for-eign-
flavored program this after-noon
at 3 o'clock. Following the
program, refreshments will be
served in the dining hall of Bodien
residence.
The National Defense Student
Loan program was authorized by
the enactment of Public Law 85-
864, the National Defense Educa-tion
act of 1958. It is one of sev-eral
features of this act, designed
"to identify and educate more of
the talent of our nation" and "to
insure trained manpower of suffi-cient
quality and quantity to meet
the national defense needs of the
United States."
Recipients of loans are selected
by the -college. The law requires
that each borrower be a full time
student and that he be in need of
the amount of his loan to pursue
his course of study and that he
be, in the opinion of the institu-tion,
capable of maintaining good
'Controversial'
Bach Organ
Recital Set
Baroque organ demonstration
will be given at the Bethel Ev-angelical
Lutheran church in Min-neapolis
this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Raymond Boese will play this
unique organ, the only one of its
kind in the Twin City area. Mr.
Boese teaches organ at St. Olaf
college in Northfield, Minn.
This organ is "controversial," ac-cording
to J. Robert Carlson, sem-inary
middleman.
Baroque organs, which were the
type used during Bach's time, are
noted for clarity, lightness, and
brilliant tone. After the Baroque
period, organs were made to imi-tate
different 'instruments of the
orchestra. Because of this, the
organ ceased to be entirely an in-strument
in its own right, Mr.
Carlson said.
The demonstration is sponsored
by the Twin City student group
of the American Guild of Organ-ists.
This group is planning a six-state
convention May 8 and 9 at
Hamline university. Workshops,
recitals, and appearances of na-tionally
known artists will be in-cluded.
Bethel students interested in
'Saturday night's program, the
American Guild of Organists, or
the convention should contact Mr.

Special consideration in select-ing
loan recipients is given to stu-dents
with a superior academic
background who express a desire
to teach in elementary or second-ary
schools and whose academic
background indicates a superior
capacity or preparation in science,
mathematics, engineering, or a
modern foreign language.
If funds are available, a student
may borrow in one year a sum not
exceeding $1000 and during his
entire course in higher education
no more than $5000. The borrower
must sign a note for his loan, evi-dencing
his obligation and agree-ing
to interest and repayment
terms established by the college.
Other condition's are stipulated
including a requirement of repay-ing
the loan beginning one year
after the borrower ceases to be a
full-time student and completing
it 10 years thereafter. No interest

the repayment schedule, and inter-est
thereafter is to be paid at the
rate of three per cent per year.
The borrower's obligation to repay
his loan is to be cancelled in the
event of his death or permanent
and total disability.
Up to 50 per cent of a loan may
be cancelled at the rate of 10 per

a full time teacher in a
ipublic elementary or secondary
school.
Students interested in knowing
more about the loan program
should see Dean Clifford Anderson
in the Student Affairs office. Only
a small amount is available for
loans this semester.
Applications for loans necessary
for the 1959-60 year should be com-pleted
soon. Because of the many
institutions participating in the

a limited amount. A loan commit-tee
will grant loans on the basis
of the above restrictions.

The petition system will enable

Berlin Crisis
(continued from p. 2)
firmation, for a united Germany
is a threat to them. Western Ger-many
and some of the Western
Democracies do not want division
confirmed in any way. To the Bonn
(West German) government, it is
perhaps an issue worth risking
war over.
Beyond the issue of recognition,
looms the problem of Berlin itself.
The U.S.S.R. has suggested it be-come
a free city. But most observ-ers
think this in time would iso-late
it economically and politically
from the Democratic West. Can
this isolation be accepted? The
price is high. Berlin is a symbol
of freedom in tyranized Eastern
Europe. It is an escape hatch for
the hunted and harried behind the
iron curtain. It is a measuring
stick which daily shows the sharp
contrast between the meager life
under communism and richer life
under democracy. It is a city of
free people—some two million of
them—who have dared to vote
against Communism under the
shadow of Soviet guns. Would the
sacrifice of all this nat weaken
the fiber of resistance to Com-munism
in all of Europe?
Hard decisions must be made by
the NATO states in the next three
months. These decisions would tax
our statesmanship in any time, but
'presently the rulers in Moscow
may feel that they can risk war
in the confidtence that the Soviet
I'CBM's will force the West to
grant last minute concessions to
avert atomic war. Thus, Western
calculations must attempt to weigh
the thoughts of man in the distant
and isolated Kremlin. Can West-ern
leadership and its supporting
public opinion develop the creative
flexibility this crisis demands?

Bethel Swamps Pillsbury;
Northland Beaten By 12
Warriors Take
Royals, 78-89
Bethel finished its cage season
by losing 78-89 to Winona State,
Feb. 24, on the Royals home court.
The Royals played good ball and
threatened the Warriors twice.
With three minutes to the end of
the first half Les Borms and
John Peterson each connected with
free throws leaving the Royals
one point down at half time. Mid-way
in the third quarter the Roy-als
pulled ahead by four points
but the Warriors came back strong.
At the free throw line the Roy-als
had a field day. Out of 52 free
throws attempted they put in 44
for 85 per cent. Winona put in
25 of 37.
John Peterson, making his first
start for the Royals at forward,
scared 14 points. Les Borms and
Keith King had 17 and 12 points
respectively. Truman Turnquist
and Dick Larson hit for 11 and 10
points.
Outstanding for Winona were:
guard Don Klagg, who scored 19
points with a deadly jump shot;
center Gale Sprute with 18 points;
and the floor play of Herb Es-pinda.
Milton beat the Lakeland Mus-kies
in a heated overtime period
last Friday night by a score of
75 to 71. Milton still has one more
game against a good ball club,
Milwaukee I. T.; a loss to them
would give Bethel a playoff game
with Milton for the conference
championship. Milwaukee's new
player, Richard La,abs, scored 44
points against Lakeland.
by Dave Hagfeldt
The Royals trounced Pillsbury
again, 103 to 42, on Feb. 16, at
Owatonna. Forward John Peterson,
getting 17 points, looked very good.
Bethel had six men scoring in
double figures. Speedy guard
Duane Frey, with the help of eight
charity tosses, led last place Pills-bury
with 16 points.
Bethel's Royals defeated a much
talked about Northland five, on
Feb. 12, for the second time this
season, 65 to 53. On their home
floor the Royals led at half-time,
32-25, and dominated the scoring
throughout the game.

with 16 points; Truman Turn-quist

SHOW OFF YOUR EYES
by Harry Cohen
The traditional Founder's Week
foes of the Bethel Royals were con-quered
for the second time this
year. Northwestern was beaten
77 to 70 in the Bethel fieldhouse
on Thursday, February 19. Early
in January these same two teams
met and Bethel triumphed, 68 to
58.
The Royals were threatened ser-iously
only once, when the Eagles
pulled within one point of the
lead, 66 to 65. At half-time • Bethel
held an 11 point lead, 42 to 31.
Surprising to Northwestern fans,
but expected by most Bethelians,
was the lack of points by Eagle,
John Van Dixhorn. Truman Turn-quist
covered Van Dixhorn and
held him to eight points.
Truman still found time to score
22 points.
Northwestern's high scorer was
guard Dwayne Cole who threw
sundry shots through the basket
for an 18 point total. Bragg scored
16 points.
Russ Adelsman and Keith King
totaled 14 and 11 points respec-tively.
John Peterson played little
in the first half and scored but
two points then. In the second
half, however, he scored eight
points and played some fine clutch
basketball that deserves recogni-tion.
The Royals, for the most part,
played well but not their best.
Turnquist's playing, termed by
some of his teammates as the best
this year, was certainly a major
factor contributing to the Bethel
victory.
Coach Healy was quite pleased
with Truman's work. He thought
it to be possibly the best Royal
contribution of the current season.
